Civilized I shall not be

A few years ago I traveled around, because I wanted to compare my ideas
with another Barbarian. People with similar ideas to mine are hard to find. They find
themselves alone, surrounded by people who don't understand.

I have found other people with similar views and started the Church of
Holy Anarchy. Holy Anarchy is a religion for people who want to let their inner Beast run
free. We celebrate all the Animals in us.

It will become obvious, to anyone who tries to live as his Beast, that
civilization is the enemy. Civilization wants to cage the Beast and make him a slave of
the system. Civilization is organized hatred against mankind.

People with a sense of independence realize that technology and money
are not necessary. Money and technology create problems. We develop a faith in man and see
no reason for governments or artificial laws. Anyone who wants laws does not trust man,
and does not realize his abilities. The civilized man hates himself.

People, who want to be free to be their beast, may develop a connection
to wild nature. Once they understand themselves they will understand the need for a
natural world to live in.

I am not a socialist anarchist, who want to replace normal government
with an enlightened elite. I would rather have no government. Tribal leaders are
acceptable as long as their political system dies when they die.

I dont want to be dependent on the system. Industrial products are
traps, which you should free yourself from. No man should own more than he can carry. This
does not mean that I reject luxury. Mass produced products are disgusting. A quality
product that someone makes with pride is more acceptable. Life is best with a few quality
items.

Eventually those who chose to fallow their inner Animal may want to know
more about themselves. Some New Age religions seek inner peace or a sense of benevolence.
Your inner Animal is not necessarily benevolent or peaceful. He may have other
characteristics that you might not have admitted to yourself yet.

Some Shaman believes that it is necessary to go on a vision quest, to
communicate with your personal Animal. I did something like that a few years ago, but I
dont think that everyone must do this. Some people are born with the ability to live
as their personal Monsters without a vision quest. Most of us were raised in a civilized
culture, which prevented us from understanding our Animals. A vision quest helped me
rediscover my nature.

Some people prefer to let Authorities think for them. I prefer
people who make their own myths. You can adopt other peoples ideas, but a myth is
more powerful if you create it yourself. A Pagan temple should be place that people can
share their myths and use each others ideas to develop new myth, or perhaps
rediscover old forgotten Gods.

To be a Holy Anarchist you must live as your Beast. You should also
encourage others to do the same. We understand that returning to nature is hard. We do not
expect that all our members live like the unabomber. You dont even have to be a full
time Holy Anarchist. A little Holy Anarchy is better than none. We keep no list of
members.

This Web site is not supported by many of my closest friends, many of
whom reject computers. They think that I am weak, because I use technology, and that
I am endangering myself by going down the wrong path. This is a risk I am willing to take,
because more people need to talk about what it means to be human. I believe that
many of the problems in civilization are caused by ignorance. If more people learn to live
as part of nature, the cage of civilization will become unnecessary. I feel that the
Internet is a useful way to spread information. I guess it is OK to sometimes use
technology to destroy technology.

A few friends recommended that I should make membership cards so they
would have something solid and official looking to hold. Official Church of Holy Anarchy
membership cards are available free, if I want to give you one. Just E-mail me and I will
tell you how to get one. Everything we give away is free. It will only cost
you your soal.
